Default Jaguar XK 4.2 indepth!

Another indepth and this was quite a surprising one since I basically walked in a Jaguar dealership and some days later I was handed the key of a shiny new XK and was able to go on a testdrive all alone with no dealer. Really weird!

And really nice car I must say. Nice to take pics of it and a pleasure to drive! I'm gonna post the complete review in the correct section in a while

Bring on the pics

26 high-res can be found by clicking these previews

Anyways, very nice pics as usual TT, I've seen a couple of these in person now, and they are quite nice, and sound decent as well. 8)

Good job with the photos TT. Since you are the acknowledged snapper in Switzerland, the wise dealers know that giving the car over to you is a cheap form of advertising

The only issue I have is with the car - it looks DULL with a frikkin Mondeo snout ... yuck!

^^ and i bet you were looking for a M5 fighter weren't you...... Jags are cruisers, highspeed ones at that. they are quick, not fast.

That the way it should be :good:
They give us the key for an Indepth and off we go for cool places and some nice driving :fuck:
once again you're the first to present
I spoke to the AM-Jag dealer about comparing the AMV8 with the XK and some photos, but I'm too busy atm :bah: to book the testdrive.


Very nice picture of the AM-look-a-like, me likes the design except from the front.
You choose the perfect scnenery with some farm, horses and cloudy sky (typical UK conditions)
#18 should be the next Jag-whatever-HighSociety-magazine

Thanks for the indepth
